I don't do Apple either. That said for most casual consumers Bluetooth is good enough and actually more convenient than wired, so for the mass market a headphone jack on a phone is only occasionally useful.
The number of times I have tripped over a stray cable has been offset by the number of times I have saved a phone from a high fall by catching it via some sort of cable. Also LDAC guzzles battery life like it's got a problem.
@Qildail it's obvious the dude is a complete Apple shill. It's more like the article made me laugh because the assertions are so absurd to me. It reads like cultist texts
I don't use Apple products, but have to give them credit for jump-starting the TWS market. The fact that I can have a decent sounding AirPods clone with ANC and in-device EQ for only $40 today, is pretty much a direct consequence of their decision to kill the headphone jack seven years ago.
@james444. What is your TWS choice these days? That article was...bad. He made it sounds like Apple did this for the greater good, when the real reason was to create a new market for their latest purchase. Brave gamble which paid off.
What garbage. The writer didn’t even answer the question they posed. Why was it right? I still don’t know except that people kept buying iPhones. That just means that we put up with it.
Meh. Apple didn't remove it b/c lightning was better at audio. It did it to save space (constantly making phone thinner) and it allowed them to make the phone more water resistant. The same reasoning why they will eventually remove the lightning port (and any possible future usb c port). We are niche. The vast majority just don't care or miss it.
